Brown summer dresses in chocolate, both wrap midis
Two wrap midis make up our brown summer dress line, and they’re different enough to describe one at a time. One is a small floral on a chocolate ground with short sleeves. Plain chocolate satin is the other, with sleeves to the wrist and a tie waist.
The small floral for work and the walk afterward
This is the daytime one. Tiny flowers on dark chocolate look calm, so the dress sits as comfortably at a desk as it does on an evening waterfront. The wrap front gives you a V-neck and a defined waist. Its midi hem covers your knees, and with short sleeves your arms stay bare when it’s hot.
For the office, add a light blazer and low-heeled pumps. On Saturday, leather sandals and a woven crossbody bag are enough. Brown and gold get along, so we’d add a thin chain in a warm tone.
Chocolate satin with sleeves for terrace evenings
Long sleeves in July? On a terrace after sunset, they make sense. This midi is matte satin. It’s 98% polyester, and the 2% of elastane adds some stretch, so sitting, reaching and walking all feel easy. Call it silk-look, and we won’t claim anything grander.
The ties let you set the waist yourself. Make the knot where you’re narrowest and the waistline looks sharper. Hot-chocolate brown on satin also carries into a restaurant in early fall, which a brighter summer color can’t always do.
Sizing a wrap and dressing it for a cool spring
Choose your size by bust and let the wrap handle the waist. That’s our advice for both, and it’s the reason a wrap is easy to order without trying on. They come in XS to XL, and if a measurement lands on the border between two sizes, ask us in chat which one to take.
We sew these for the warm season, so they return with the summer collection. Thinking ahead to a chilly May? A trench in sand or olive goes over the floral, and a trench or a blazer over the satin. Small gold hoops look right with either dress.
If one brown summer dress isn’t enough to choose from, the wider brown collection has cold-season cuts too.
Frequently asked questions
Which shoes suit a chocolate midi in hot weather?
Beige or caramel heels with the satin. Flat leather sandals with the floral, or low pumps on a workday.
How do I care for the satin one?
Hand wash, cool water. Then iron it warm from the wrong side.
Does a wrap fit different body shapes?
It does. The crossover draws in the waist, and you choose how tight to tie it.
